The standard library prep protocol suggests to elute DNA with the MinElute kit following A-tailing and prior to adapter ligation, for a total volume of 10 ul. This 10 ul is then fed into the adapter ligation step. Is there any reason I couldn't elute the A-tailed product with a standard Qiaquick column (30 ul eluate) and just scale up reaction volumes in the ligation reaction? The post-ligation product is cleaned up on a Qiaquick column in any case. Seems simple enough to re-scale the adapter ligation reaction, but maybe I am missing something?

Eluting in a larger volume using standard Qiaquick column does indeed work in conjunction with a scaled-up ligation reaction..
I normally use minelute columns for this step, but once or twice when I've been in a hurry I've picked the wrong column and run my sample through before realising, only to realise the mistake at elution time. As you were planning to do, I just eluted in the larger volume (30uL) and scaled up the ligation... it worked just fine.
Out of interest... why are you looking at using the standard, rather than minelute columns? Just for the simplicity of using only one column type?
Cheers,
Scott.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
